Pre-AF
If On is selected when Multi AF or Spot AF is selected for
Focus (page 64), the camera will continue to focus even
when the shutter-release button is not pressed halfway
(the focus range is narrower than for normal focus). This
may decrease the time needed to focus, potentially
improving shutter response.
Cautions
Pre-AF is not available when MF, Snap, or is selected for
Focus (page 64).
• Using pre-AF increases the drain on the battery.
Exposure Metering
Choose how the camera measures light for exposure.
Option Description
Multi* The camera measures light in 256 areas of the frame.
Center
The camera measures light in the entire frame but assigns
the greatest weight to the center. Use when the subject
in the center of the frame is brighter or darker than the
background.
Spot
The camera measures light with the subject in the center
of a frame, ensuring the optimal exposure even when it is
markedly brighter or darker than the background.
* The icon is displayed on the DIRECT screen only.
When Center or Spot is selected,
the current selection is shown by
an icon in the picture display.
